The Bashfords of Worthing:Information about Olive Hopper
Olive Hopper (b. 1886, d. 1962)
Notes for Olive Hopper:
Hearsay evidence (Frances Insole): Sid had been billeted with her (and WJS?) during the First World War and appears never to have left. I'm pretty sure that Frances also claimed that Olive was his daughter, not WJS'.
The menage was certainly strange! My father was born in 1908, but Olive senior appears to have had no further children until 1919. It looks quite likely that both Sid junior and Olive junior were Sid Watkins' children.
(Research):Death not found in 1837 1/60 to 4/63. Could she have been listed as Watkin?
